ENGINE MISFIRES AT MULTIPLE CYLINDERS. THE BACK THREE (AGAINST FIRE WALL) ARE CLEAN, THE FORWARD THREE ARE ALL SUDDY AS IF "LOADING UP". "CHECK ENGINE" IS ON AND CAR HAS VERY LOW POWER. WAS TOLD THAT PLUGS HAVE BEEN CHANGED TWICE AND COILS WERE ALSO CHECKED.

Go to Autozone its a free public service and have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis,finding out what's going on
